Readings I've found, dug for, stumbled on, and others that have been shared by couples who connect with such warmly written words that describe their love and passion for each other.
Along the way, I've come across beautiful words written by poets, novelists, musicians, screen-writers, and other talented individuals who write from the heart.
Such words should be shared. Something might stand out to you and be the perfect addition to your ceremony.
Excerpt from The Alchemist
"When he looked into her eyes, he learned the most important part of the language that all the world spoke — the language that everyone on earth was capable of understanding in their heart. It was love.
Something older than humanity, more ancient than the desert. What the boy felt at that moment was that he was in the presence of the only woman in his life, and that, with no need for words, she recognised the same thing. Because when you know the language, it’s easy to understand that someone in the world awaits you, whether it’s in the middle of the desert or in some great city.
And when two such people encounter each other, the past and the future become unimportant.
There is only that moment, and the incredible certainty that everything under the sun has been written by one hand only. It is the hand that evokes love, and creates a twin soul for every person in the world.
Without such love, one’s dreams would have no meaning."
What is Love by Unknown
Victor Hugo’s “Les Misérables”
Mark Twain’s “A Marriage”
Blue-Eyed Devil by Lisa Kleypas
"I no longer believed in the idea of soul mates, or love at first sight. But I was beginning to believe that a very few times in your life, if you were lucky, you might meet someone who was exactly right for you. Not because he was perfect, or because you were, but because your combined flaws were arranged in a way that allowed two separate beings to hinge together."
